The Home
This page tells you exactly what living here looks like — the house, the rhythm of the week, and what we expect of each other.
What It's Like
When you walk in, you won’t find a front desk or a sign-in window. You’ll find a house in Wasilla — a kitchen where meals get cooked, a living room where people actually sit and talk, bedrooms with real beds and space for your things. It looks like a home because it is one. For a lot of people coming out of treatment, that alone is the hardest thing to find.
What makes it different from any other house is the structure underneath it. Everyone who lives here is substance-free, without exception. There’s a house meeting every Friday at 6. Chores rotate. Residents work, look for work, go to school, or volunteer — the days have shape. The structure isn’t there to control anyone. It’s there because early recovery goes better when the ground under you is steady and the people around you are living the same way.
And the accountability is quiet. It’s housemates who notice when you’re having a rough day. It’s someone asking if you made it to your meeting. Nobody is watching you like a case file. But nobody is invisible here either — and for a lot of people in early recovery, being seen is exactly what’s needed. More on the standards we hold this home to.
Real photos of the home are coming — we’d rather show you the actual house than fill this page with stock photography, so bear with us while we get the camera out.
Day to Day
No two weeks are identical, but the rhythm is. Here’s the honest shape of it.
We’ll walk through these house rules with you before you move in — so you know exactly what you’re saying yes to.
The Straight Answers
Specifics matter more than adjectives. Here’s what we can tell you plainly, and where a phone call fills in the rest.
How long
Long enough to actually rebuild — a job, a routine, a footing. We’re not interested in rushing anyone out the door, and we’re not interested in anyone drifting either. The honest answer is that it depends on you, and it’s one of the first things we’ll talk through together at intake.
The money
Rent covers your bed, electric, gas, internet, and water — food isn’t included, though once a month there’s a family dinner on us. Contact us for current pricing: you’ll get a straight number on the phone before you commit to anything, some discounts are available through certain programs, and there are no surprise fees after you move in. Six beds, one house — call and we’ll tell you what’s open.
Moving in
Yourself, honestly, is most of it. Clothes for Alaska weather, your personal items and toiletries, any medications you take, ID and documents if you have them, and whatever you need for work or job hunting. If you’re arriving with less than that — a lot of people do — tell us. We’ll figure it out together.
No, and it’s important to us that you know that going in. Sober Living Alaska is housing — a structured, substance-free home with a peer community, not a treatment provider. We don’t provide clinical or medical services of any kind. The home is built for people leaving treatment — a place to live while you put your life back together.
People who are ready to live substance-free and want structure and community around them while they rebuild — coming out of treatment, coming home from military service, or simply needing a steady sober place to restart. Veterans are welcome here. It’s a sober living home for men in Wasilla — a stable place to land in the Mat-Su Valley, somewhere to hold a job, reconnect with life, and be around others doing the same. If you’re not sure whether you fit, call us. That conversation costs nothing.
Family matters in recovery, and we take that seriously — and to protect the privacy and stability of everyone living here, the home itself is visitor-free. That’s a firm house policy. Staying connected still happens: there’s a family dinner once a month on us, and your people are always a phone call away. When you apply, we’ll walk through exactly how it works so you and your family know what to expect.
This is a substance-free home, and every resident lives that way from day one — that part is non-negotiable, for everyone’s sake. If you’re not there yet, that doesn’t mean the door is closed to you forever. Call us and tell us where you are. We’ll talk honestly about whether now is the right time, and what the path here looks like if it isn’t yet.
Start with the application page, or just call (907) 503-8558 — a phone call is often the fastest way. We’ll ask some honest questions, answer yours, and go from there. Case managers and treatment providers referring someone can find what they need on our families and referrals page.
One home in Wasilla, a set of standards we hold to, and a straight answer when you call. That’s what we’ve got — and for the right person, it’s enough to start.
